@Redyote is kraken as good as they say it is-- I have been wanting to try it but at almost $30 a bottle I was a little leary.

$30? I got the smaller bottle for about $20. It is bloody delicious. You can either mix it or shoot it straight, but I will warn you: at 94 proof, it's a pretty potent shot. My personal experience with it is offering a shot to my neighbor, then taking the shot after he waffled on it.

Side note - the Three Olives newer flavors (of their thirty or so they have now)... The Dude.. Birthday Cake.. Cola.. Fruitloops.. and Bubblegum are all pretty groody. Not much mixes well with any... I tried.

My problem with wine is it makes me feel too relaxed. To the point of just wanting to sleep. Plus it gives me a headache rather quickly. It's still hard to pass on if someone opens a bottle but it's not something I go and buy just to sit around and drink.

Wine is for dinner and post-dinner palaver. ("Wine... it's what's for dinner") I typically get malbecs in honor of my friend Guido from Buenos Aires, but I'm absolutely tone-deaf when it comes to wine - so long as it's red and served with good chat, I'll probably enjoy it.
I don't think I'd like it with good chaat, though - for that I want a lager.

My wife is a Malbec fan too (specific ones which, sadly, I can never remember). She's definitely the wine connoisseur. I have to agree with some of the others about wine: it usually just gives me a headache and makes me want to sleep. I enjoy a red with most any dish with a lot of basil and garlic, but for the most part I'd rather do a good beer or scotch.
